Back from the dreaded dissertation!

Dissertation (nearly) out of the way ... so back to the studio work! I have been doing some research into designer's who inspire me.

HOLLY FULTON

She includes cats, birds and other weird shapes to create a new pattern. The objects seem to get lost amongst all the chaos.

Check out the skyscraper skirt.

My own geocache.

I think its time for me to starting thinking about making my own geocache, finding places to hide them then publish their whereabouts.

I need too -

Find some containers and magnets

Make a log

Find an appropriate place to put the cache

Find the coordinates of this place

Publish the coordinates

WAIT!

Here are some example of home-made containers.

Thoughts and ideas.
+ I have been having ideas about asking people to write a word along with their log name that they feel about geocaching... that would be in wee caches. I'm trying to think of ways to involve the people that find my cache in my project somehow.

+ I'd also like to make hand made books to log this in so I would have a record of this.

+ Concentrate on how the cache are hidden

+ What are they hidden in?

+ Are they disguised?

+What shape is the container?
